09/06/2026: Declining Service and Declining Quality
It is with great regret that we are removing our previous positive review to update our current experience. As regulars at Le Chary restaurant, where we spent almost all of last summer as well as the off-season, our most recent visit was unfortunately very disappointing.
The service has declined dramatically, to the point where we wonder how the recruitment process was handled. The two waitresses completely lacked professionalism. One of them was dressed in a vulgar manner, and both let customers become impatient before finally serving them with an extremely nonchalant attitude. We saw several people sit down and then leave for another terrace, tired of waiting for attention. The same was true for a large table of about fifteen people who had to wait 20 minutes before a customer flagged down a waitress so they could finally be seated.
For our part, the waitress was unpleasant and pushy. After having a drink, we wanted to eat. As for the food, we ordered our usual mussels. While the price increase wasn't a problem, the quality was definitely not the same. The mussels with Roquefort sauce were absolutely disappointing: the sauce was practically nonexistent, as if a cheap piece of cheese had just been thrown in hastily during reheating. To get any flavor at all, we had to ask for extra sauce (which we chose garlic cream, as the mussels with garlic cream we ordered separately were fine).
Finally, the meal was ruined by an inappropriate haste: while we were eating, we were asked three times if we had finished so they could clear the table. If the waitresses put as much enthusiasm into welcoming and serving customers as they do into rushing them out, the experience would have been much better. While we used to warmly recommend this establishment and send friends, acquaintances, and people we met there, we will now definitely no longer advertise this restaurant. It's a real shame.
The restrooms, although not particularly attractive, were at least usually clean. This time, it was simply shameful: they were filthy from the very start of service.
